Market commentary

While Continental Marks from the 1970s have been enjoying a price spike over the past few years, that trend hasn't reached the Continental proper yet. The amount offered could have been quickly and graciously accepted unless the owner is a patient man. These are good candidates for future attention if the "Goodfellas Effect" has staying power, which is far from certain.
